The past week has been fairly crazy. And the next couple of weeks will be
somewhat busy too due to job interviews.

Interviews so far:

• AideRSS: a small local startup. It looks like it
  would be an interesting place to work, and the people I met there are fairly
  nice. Unfortunately, as a startup, I’m not sure how stable it would be, and
  they’re looking for Ruby developers, which I am not (yet). If there are any
  good Ruby developers out there who want to work at an exciting startup, look
  them up.
• Synopsys: produces software for designing
  microchips, and other related technology. Headquartered in California, with
  offices all over. The position that I’m interviewing for is in the Ottawa
  area. So far, I’ve done a few phone interviews.
• Google: everyone knows about Google. I’m
  interviewing for a position at the Waterloo office. So far, I’ve done three
  phone interviews, and an in-person interview in the Waterloo office.

Coming up:

• Synopsis on Monday July 21 at the Ottawa office. Seven interview sessions in
  one day, starting at around 10:00am, until 4:00pm. Wow. Busy day.
• Google on Monday, July 28 at the New York office. Three interview sessions.
  I haven’t been in New York for a long time, and Amanda’s never been.
  Naturally, we’ll have to spend a few days there to see the sights.
